Eaton APR48-ES 2000W Energy Saver Rectifier 96% Efficiency

The Eaton APR48-ES Energy Saver Rectifier is designed for communications network operators who are striving to cut energy costs across their network, and/or meet aggressive carbon footprint reduction targets.

Operating with well over 96% efficiency, it produces at least 50% less waste energy than most other modern rectifiers, and with potentially greater savings over older infrastructure.

The 2kW Energy Saver Rectifier is the ideal module size for powering access applications within a telecom network such as cellular base stations, ADSL equipment, and fibre nodes.

This rectifier features intelligent digital signal processing for enhanced control, producing peak efficiency in excess of 96% for typical operating loads, while also maintaining a very high minimum operating efficiency of 95 to 96%, over a very wide range of loads (from 20% to 100% of the 2kW capacity).

Achieving very high energy saving efficiency levels is further ensured as the Energy Saver Rectifier also operates with Load Based Rectifier Shutdown (LBRS) which automatically ensures the rectifiers are operating in their optimal efficiency band for maximum system efficiency.

The high power density, short depth and flexible mounting options makes the Energy Saver Rectifier well suited to limited space applications such as ETSI and road side cabinets.

The Energy Saver Rectifier is fully compatible with existing Eaton 3G systems and it is one of the easiest rectifiers to use, with a simple plug-and-go insertion.  It operates under a wide range of AC power conditions and in temperatures at up to 70 degrees celsius.

Efficiency

Energy saving efficiency of over 96% saves at least 50% waste energy in the DC conversion process versus other comparably sized rectifiers in today's market (at nominal 240Vac input).

Reduced heat dissipation that is associated with the high energy-saving rectifier efficiency, can potentially save further OPEX through the reduced heat management requirements.

Peak energy efficiency is ensured with both a high efficiency curve over a wide load range of typical operating conditions as well as with Eaton's "Load Based Rectifier Shutdown" (LBRS) which switches rectifiers off and on to maintain individual rectifier loads in the optimal range.

Significant OPEX and CO2 emissions savings from reduced waste energy
